Runner-up result for Walker in 2013 BEEC Series
Jonny Walker has secured the runner-up position in the two-round 2013 British Extreme Enduro Championship with a third place result at the final round of the series held at Cowm Quarry, Lancashire. Enduring a tough two-hour race, Jonny crashed in the second corner with a another fall at the start of lap two forcing him to later stop and fit a new front wheel. Battling his way back to third Jonny placed behind David Knight and Graham Jarvis.
Still feeling the effects of extreme dehydration from his runner-up result at Hell’s Gate Jonny’s hopes of challenging for a win were derailed almost as soon as the race began. Caught out by the frozen conditions Walker crashed in the second corner, dropping to fifth. Working his way back up to second another fall – this time over the handlebars while negotiating a rock garden – resulted in a bent front brake disk. Forced to pit to fit a new front wheel Jonny lost contact with the leading duo and ended the race third. 
Jonny’s next event is the final round of the SuperEnduro World Championship.
Jonny Walker: “It wasn’t a good event for me, I just wasn’t with it properly. I knew I wouldn’t be at my best after my problems at Hell’s Gate last week, but I wanted to try and give it my best shot. Nothing really went right. I crashed in the second corner and made loads of mistake throughout the race. To get on the podium was ok considering I had to stop and change my front wheel. I crashed at the start of the second lap and went straight over the bars, which bent my front brake disk. That kind of summed up my day. It was a good track and a good day, just a shame I wasn’t able to start it feeling 100 per cent.” (source: future7media)
